Moore drove up to 180 km/h, passenger says

Court heard Tuesday that Moore admitted he picked up four passengers who had just left a house where they had been drinking on May 21. One of the passengers estimated Moore then drove at speeds as high as 180 km/h through the city.

The group eventually stopped at the Yellowknife River Bridge to consume more alcohol, then continued down the Ingraham Trail. Moore crossed centre line driving 100 km/h, swerving to avoid an oncoming vehicle.

Shortly after, he lost control on a curve and the car sank in the lake up to the doors. One woman died and two other passengers were seriously injured.
